Lucinda's Creative Process

Lucinda's Creative Process

A strong focus in Lucinda Sayre's paintings is the interplay of light and dark with an emphasis on back-lit images. The sense of coming upon a private scene, the emotions evoked and the mysteries to be found in nature fill her canvases. Her large-scale works are composed from a perspective that draws viewers into the painting, giving them the feeling they are walking right alongside the artist.

Lucinda Sayre's day often begins at dawn as she pulls on her boots, grabs her camera and steps into the woods surrounding her home in Vermont. Rather than seeking a particular composition, the artist allows inspiration to find her as she might be drawn off a trail by the sounds of a babbling brook, the slant of sunlight through trees or the reach of a towering cliff.
